Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (46), who was running for the US Republican presidential nomination, withdrew from the primary race on the 21st (local time), two days before the New Hampshire primary on the 23rd, and declared his support for former President Donald Trump. With the resignation of Governor DeSantis, who was once in the spotlight as ‘Smart Trump’, the ‘popular theory’ of former President Trump is expected to gain momentum.
In a video released on social media that day, Governor DeSantis said, “It seems clear that the majority of Republican voters want to give former President Trump another chance. “He is a better candidate than President Joe Biden.”
With his resignation, the New Hampshire primary became a bilateral confrontation between former President Trump and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. On the same day, former President Trump even mentioned former Ambassador Haley’s resignation at a rally in Rochester, New Hampshire, saying, “It’s time for the Republican Party to unite.” Former Ambassador Haley refused, saying, “The United States is not a country that decides its presidential candidate through a coronation ceremony.” The New York Times said, “DeSantis’ resignation is a difficult obstacle for former Ambassador Haley to overcome,” and added, “Former President Trump has taken another step toward the nomination of the Republican candidate.”
● Trump’s ‘popular theory’ wings, nomination as candidate nears
Former President Trump said at a rally in Rochester that day, “There are two days left until we win New Hampshire. “We will defeat ‘crooked’ Joe Biden (President) and make America great again,” he shouted.
He then encouraged his supporters to vote and said, “We will set a new record.” Former President Trump received 51% of support at the Iowa caucus (his party’s convention) on the 15th, the first stage of the Republican presidential primary. As Governor DeSantis, who was in second and fourth place at the time, and Indian businessman Vivek Ramaswamy both withdrew from the primary and supported him, he did not hide his expectation that he could receive higher support than in Iowa even if non-party voting is possible in New Hampshire.
In a CNN poll of New Hampshire voters on this day, former President Trump received 50% support, ahead of former Ambassador Haley (39%) by 11 percentage points. In particular, 62% of Governor DeSantis’ supporters responded, “I will support Trump if DeSantis resigns.” On the same day, an Emerson University survey showed that the gap between former President Trump (53%) and former Ambassador Haley (37%) widened by 16 percentage points.

Former Ambassador Haley campaigned seven times throughout New Hampshire in one day alone. Rumors of the candidate’s resignation were also dismissed. In his statement, he appealed, “Voters must choose whether to go down the path of a ‘Trump vs. Biden’ rematch or find a new path of conservatism.”
Former Ambassador Haley said in her last campaign speech of the day, “Can you hear that sound over there? “This is the sound of a bilateral confrontation (between me and former President Trump),” he emphasized. On this day, former Manhattan family court judge Judy Sindlin of the famous TV show ‘Judge Judy’ supported former Ambassador Haley.
However, the Washington Post (WP) predicted, “If former Ambassador Haley loses to former President Trump in New Hampshire by a margin of more than 10 percentage points, she will have to decide to resign.” Former Ambassador Haley is also far behind in his home state of South Carolina, where the primary will be held on the 24th of next month. The Trump campaign pressured Haley to resign, saying, “If Haley resigns and does not support Trump, she will be embarrassed in her home state.”
